Abstract
To increase the efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) array output under variable environmental conditions, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of the solar arrays is needed. This paper proposes fuzzy logic controller (FLC)-based MPPT, artificial neural network (ANN)-based MPPT, neuro-fuzzy (NF)-based MPPT, particle swarm optimisation (PSO)-based MPPT, and cuckoo search (CS) algorithm-based MPPT to combine an adaptive controller and an optimisation, to guarantee global stability and a constant settling time for all operation conditions. This combination enables an increase in the power generated in comparison with conventional MPPT techniques. Simulation results show that the proposed photovoltaic/storage generator is able to supply the suggested dynamic loads under different conditions, and achieve good performance. It is also noticed that operating the photovoltaic array based on maximum power point tracking conditions gives about 43% extra power generation than in the case of normal operation.
期刊介绍:
Most of the research and experiments in the fields of science, engineering, and social studies have spent significant efforts to find rules from various complicated phenomena by observations, recorded data, logic derivations, and so on. The rules are normally summarised as concise and quantitative expressions or “models". “Identification" provides mechanisms to establish the models and “control" provides mechanisms to improve the system (represented by its model) performance. IJMIC is set up to reflect the relevant generic studies in this area.
